1t HELPED Both WAYS.

DIR. S. Weir Mitchell, of PhiIadel-
phia, is almost as we'll known as a
story<teller as he is physician. One
of his stories is personal experience
which occurred during the war. Re-
ports of cruelty to the Confederate
prisoners confined in the military
prison at Fort Delaware were sent to
the Federal headquarters, and com.
rnittee of gentlemen, among whom
was DR.. Mitchell, visited the prison
to investigate the matter. The re-
ports were found to be exaggerated
and most of the prisoners limited
their complaints to an insufficient
supply of tobacco. One of the men,
whose uniform showed him to be an
officer, said he had been granted his
exchange, but had no money to re-
turn to his home, DIR. Mitchell emp
tied his pockets and gave him 500.
"To whom am l indebted for this
loan" inquired the officer. DIR,
Mitchell told his name, and added /:
"Never mind where 1 live; give it to
the next Union soldier you find who
needs it as badly as you do, and L
shall consider that sufficient pay
ment." The doctor returned to
Philadelphia, the war came to an end
and he forgot the incident of the Con-
federate prisoner, when one day a
stranger, dressed in the uniform of
Union soldier, entered his Office and
inquired If he was DIR. Mitchell. The
doctor said he was. "Dr. S, Weir
Mitchell ?" the man asked again.
"The same," the doctor made reply.
"Then l have some money to return
to you which you lent me through
Confederate officer you found in pris-
on at Fort Delaware. He gave it to
me to pay my way back to the
North" and the man handed the
surprised doctor $50.

Found His Stay Cut Short.

A French traveller in this country
last summer gave an account of a
visit he had paid to Russia, to illus.
trate the manner in which the gov

Daniel Webster on Religion,

On the 14th of November, 1S4S,
Daniel Webster delivered an address
in the Supreme Court of Massachu-
sets on the death of Chief Justice
Mason.
The following beautiful and i'm
pressive passages are among his clos
ing remarks.
Nothing of character is really per-
manent but virtue and personal
worth. These remain. Whatever
of excellence is wrought in the soul
itself belongs to both worlds. Real
goodness does not attach itself mere
ly to this life; it points to another
world. Political or professional rep
utation cannot last forever; but a
conscience void of oftense before God
and man is an inheritance for eter-
nifty, Religion. therefore, is a neces-
sary and indispensable element in
any great human character. There
is no living without it. Religion is
the tie that connects man with his
Creator, and holds him to his throne.
If that tie be all sundered, all bro
ken, he floats away. a worthless atom
in the universe; its proper attractions
all gone. its destiny thwarted, and
its whole future nothing but dark
with no sense of religious duty is he
whom the Scriptures describe in terse
and terrific language, as living with
out God in the world Such man
is out Of his proper being, out of the
circle of all his duties. out of the cir
Gle of all his happiness, and far, far
away, from the purpose Of his Gre
alton,

The Medicine Chest.

Every family should be supplied
with d small medicine chest, espe-
cially in the country. where the drug
store can not be promptly reached or
a doctor visited. These chests can
be bought at prices ranging from So
to S25, according to size, kind of ma
terial used and beauty of finish. They
contain square, yelvet-lined compart-
fnehts into each of which square
bottle with ground-glass stopper is
fitted. Beneath is drawer for salves,
plasters and medicines in dry state.
You can make your own chest. if
handy with tools and disposed to be
economical.
/ have had such a chest in use for
twenty years. 1t has paid me oyer,
and over, and has often spared me
great anxiety of mind. 1t contains
six four-ounce bottles in which l
keep Jamaica ginger, camphor, sweet
spirits of nitre, a mixture of sweet
oil and lime water, etc.; it also con-
tains six two-ounce walls filled with
laudanum. paregoric, hive strip,
arnica, etc. In the drawer 1 keep
chlorate of potash, sugar oflead, court
plaster, ready-spread mustard plas-
ter, lint, wad of cotton, etc. Every
article is plainly labeled, and thus L
have at hand many of the remedies
most needed in ordinary emergencies.
1t does not require a great knowl-
edge of medicine to know what to
use for the ordinary ailments Of the
human family. especially for the
younger members. In cases of fever
teaspoonful of sweet spirits of nitre
in a glass of water taken at small
sips at short intervals is most excel
lent, A relief for scalds, burns, poison
ivy, etc., will be found in an external
application of sweet oil and lime wa
ter. Jamaica ginger is used for
cramps in the stomach, Sugar of lead
water used externally will reduce
swellings in the limbs. Hive syrup
is given for Group. Arnica is rubbed
on sprains, bruises, insect bites, etc.
elaborate of potash Is used for sore
throat.
Of course, if the case is a serious
one, physician should be promptly
consulted, but during the interval
these simple remedies can be intelli-
gently used. and such prompt and in
telligent use is often of great service
previous to the arrival of the physi-
clan. More than one physician has
said TO me. In substance: "You have
checked the disease in its early
stage |; have little to reccomend
beyond what you have already
DONE"
My wife and I have been alarmed
scores of times by symptoms of fever
or Group in our children on a mid
winter midnight, the nearest physi-
clan five miles away. In almost
every instance by giving the little
patient sweet spirits of nitre for the
fever. or hive syrup for the Group, we
found the child much better in the
morning, our fears allayed, and the
visit of physician unneeded. These
statements, borne out by long ex-
perience, should be sufficient to ex-
tend the introduction of the family
medicine chest. I have found it of
such great use to me, in a practical,
beneficial and economical way. that
I am urged to call the attention of
others to its merits.-FTd1ak III. StdaLf-

BATTLE FOR PROHIBITION.
POLITICAL SENSATION IN THE TEXAS
CAMPAIGN.

Ex-senator Maxey Refuses to Address q
state AUTHORIZATION Meeting, and I,e-
clares He Will Vote for the PropoJed
Amendment Next August.
FORT WORTH, Tex, April 1l-Ex-Iieu-
tenant Governor Barney Gibbs addressed
letter to ex-senator Maxey, asking him to
come out against the prohibition auend-
Of Texas next August. Maxeys reply has
just been made public. The object OF Mr..
Gibbs was to get Maxey to address state
anti-prohlbition meeting, to be held at Dali

Mr.. Maxey says: "Your letter places the
proposed amendment in the natu 10. sump-
trIary legislation. / do not so regard it.
The state of Texas has complete power over
the whole question, as an integral part OF
the police powers never granted TO the gem

the state are wholly distinct AMI apart from

appeal but to force, the vital principle and

Mr.. Maxey says: '.The Democratic party
should not suffer itself to be dragged into
this controversy. The only real question in

and purest men in the state differ The

side which seeks the greatest good to the
greatest number, and vote for the amen i
ment.n
